Estate Planning and Living Trust Attorney in Irvine, California

Irvine families often have busy schedules, higher home values and retirement or stock accounts that need to be coordinated with their estate plan. Vinh Doan Law Office, APC prepares living trusts, wills, powers of attorney and health care directives for Irvine clients, in English and Vietnamese, with every step available by Zoom.

Estate planning that fits a busy Irvine household

The larger the home and the savings, the more a probate fee based on gross value costs your family. Most families do not owe federal estate tax, since the 2026 exemption is $15,000,000 per person, but they still face probate, delay and public court records if everything is held in their own names. A funded living trust avoids that for the property it holds.

What we prepare for Irvine families

• A revocable living trust, built around your family and your property
• A pour-over will, so anything left out still ends up in the trust
• A financial power of attorney and an advance health care directive
• Deeds and written instructions to move your home and accounts into the trust
• Trust administration and probate help for your family after a death

Points worth knowing in Irvine

• Moving your home into your own revocable living trust does not by itself trigger a property tax reassessment in California.
• Retirement accounts, life insurance and many stock accounts pass by beneficiary designation, not by the trust. We review those forms so they match your plan.
• Meetings by Zoom fit a work schedule, and you can involve a spouse or adult children who live elsewhere.
